Objective
Metro United Way works every day to lift our community by mobilizing people and maximizing our community’s resources to advance opportunity and equity for all. Metro United Way drives efficiency and impact throughout our local nonprofit sector through best practice sharing, data-informed decision making, advocacy, and accountability for quality & results. We bring together businesses, nonprofits, government agencies, and individuals to engage in the kinds of collaboration that changes lives.
During COVID pandemic, we saw a surge in need – a lot of need that existed pre-pandemic. We stepped up and in addition to annual allocations to nonprofits partners, MUW helped bring $4.3 million to our community to invest in COVID relief and recovery. We also gathered, analyzed, and shared data to inform responses and organized volunteer and resource drives to help nonprofit partners by distributing tons of PPE equipment.
As we look to the next 12 months, we know that needs will continue, but we don’t want to just go back to normal – that’s not good enough. We want to help our community reimagine and build back stronger and more equitable than before, and we need your help to do it!
